My Birthday Re-cap
My birthday celebration couldn’t have been more perfect. It started before I got out of bed with personalized videos sent to me, one from a friend I had only met once seven years ago, and one from my brother in Nicaragua… When technology is not driving me crazy, it is truly amazing me! Then Ava […]
Vacation to Stay-cation
We arrived back to Tybee on Friday afternoon a full week earlier than intended from our vacation.
